Plk1 and Cdk1 regulate MISP phosphorylation. (A) GST-MISP or GST was incubated with His-Plk1 and γ-[32P]ATP (±100 nM of the Plk1 inhibitor BI2536) and analyzed by autoradiography. Coomassie staining shows equal loading. P-GST-MISP, phosphorylated GST-MISP. (B) HeLa cells were transfected with Plk1 or control siRNA for 36 h followed by 16 h of nocodazole treatment. Western blot analysis was performed with indicated antibodies. Cyclin B, loading control. (C) GST-MISP wild type (WT), 7AP mutant, or GST was incubated with His-Plk1 in the presence of γ-[32P]ATP followed by autoradiography. Equal loading is shown by Coomassie staining. (D) GST-MISP WT, 9AC mutant, or GST was incubated with GST-cyclin B/His-Cdk1 in the presence of γ-[32P]ATP followed by autoradiography. Equal loading is shown by Coomassie staining. (E) Flag-MISP WT/7AP/9AC or Flag alone was overexpressed and immunoprecipitated from mitotic HeLa cells. Far Western blot was performed using GST-Plk1 PBD and analyzed with indicated antibodies.
